Request - Provide file-object instead of file-name

[SahandJ]

Would it be possible to use segyio but instead of providing the file-name, rather provide a file-object as returned by open(), or more specifically smart_open from the smart-open library?

From my understanding, the file has to be on disk as segyio.open requires the file-name as an argument. However it looks like the read/write is done through C++ and I'm not sure if that would accept a file-object (I'm not very experienced with C++)

I hope that this would be something that could be added in the future. Currently we can use FUSE to fuse the remote cloud fs on disk.

Hi,

As you mentioned the io happens in C, and thus adding support for file-object requires a significant re-design. There is unfortunately no such effort currently planned from our side.
